Increased serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor concentrations are linked to high-sensitivity troponin T and disease progression in systemic sclerosis
sIL-2R concentrations reflect disease severity, particularly cardiac damage, and early disease progression, and suggest a potential role for disease and therapy monitoring. Thus, sIL-2R should be further evaluated as a biomarker in SSc in prospective studies.
